“This is our second time booking Tori and all of us just love her. She is wonderful with our older dog Max and sends better pictures of him than we take! :-) Thanks again Tori!”
“Suzanna is an absolute gem. Lovely to chat with, lots of pics of my two pups and just made us feel so comfortable being away from our home. She is a perfect choice if you want someone in your home who cares about making sure you as well as your pets feel well taken care of and respected. 100% look forward to having her in our home again! Just a perfect experience.”
“Karen provided on-site petsitting approximately 10 days for us. We recently relocated to our new home from out of state and the extended time away from the pets was sure to be a challenge. We are very grateful for the assistance provided by Karen. Upon our return, all was good. The pets appeared clean, happy and healthy.”
“Melissa was absolutely exceptional with our two senior dogs and puppy — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was remarkably polite and communicative, keeping us updated throughout with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos so we always felt connected to our pets. She took outstanding care of both our animals and our home, and we were genuinely touched to return to a house that was in even better shape than we’d left it. That kind of initiative and attention to detail is rare and truly appreciated. What stood out most was how she handled an unexpected situation when our puppy fell ill during the stay. Without hesitation, Melissa took her to the emergency vet and stayed by her side until we returned home. Her calm, compassionate response made all the difference — our puppy recovered quickly and is doing wonderfully. Melissa has earned our complete trust and will be our absolute first call every time we need a pet sitter. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own.”
“What an incredible pet sitter! I got multiple photos and updates, and she even brushed my dog! Both he and my home looked great when I returned. Elisabeth asked great questions when I met her and wanted to keep his routine consistent while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again real soon.”
“Deborah was amazing with our kitty! She provided loving care and kept us updated regularly on how she was eating, sleeping, and bonding. And we came home from our trip of 2+ weeks to a spotless house. We will definitely look to have Deborah sit again and would highly recommend her!”
“Cindy went out of her way to make sure my dog felt comfortable with her before we had her stay at the house. She was very responsive to communication and sent pictures which I appreciated greatly.”
“Natali was great! She watched our 2 dogs in our home for several nights while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of your fur babies and responds promptly. She is also, do far, the only in-home sitter who respected our home. Highly recommend Natali!”
“Kristine is a warm and caring individual and my dogs picked up on that immediately. She was fantastic with our three German Shepherds. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was respectful of our property, cleaned up after herself and the dogs, and went above and beyond by mopping up after a rainstorm and even throwing linens in the wash before we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so thoughtfully. Great communication, too. I would absolutely book Kristine again and highly recommend. Kristine, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for putting up with all the shedding, the Shepherds were dropping their coats like crazy.”
About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)
“Our little old man, who has seemed anxious after we've left him with some dog-sitters in the past, seemed calm and well cared for when we got home. Emelyn promptly sent an update every time I requested one and left our home very neat. She even emptied and refilled the dishwasher and watered the plants on the back porch. I would definitely recommend Emelyn!”
“Anna is very organized and asks for detailed notes prior to the visit. During the visit, she sends pictures and updates on your puppies. We were relaxed knowing Anna was watching our dogs.”
“Scott and Sarah were fantastic. I really appreciated their level of communication, care, state in which they left my home. They pay attention to the details. Every picture I received of my dogs, it looked like they were smiling ear to ear and have the best days. So cute.”
“Billy was the perfect Dog Sitter. All four of my dogs loved him immediately. He took such good care of them. He was prompt, courteous, attentive to all of my dogs. He was fantastic, and I will certainly use him again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Orlean
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,355 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orlean. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Orlean walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Orlean maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Orlean choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orlean. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
